I despair at just how many times a day I have to point relatives/friends to Snopes in response to some infuriating viral post, but lately I have really started to worry. The number of debunks cluttering up the Snopes feed that are due to "originated from a fake news/satire site" is really, really depressing. Not to mention the noticeable amount of ( Read more... )

FYI: More on the Scrapbook switchover

Even though the first post only received a *fraction* of the comments that most news posts do, they have made some changes. Still rife with problems though, speak up.

In all seriousness, this scares me more than nuclear annihilation, or revolution, or global warming...

All Free Library of Philadelphia Branch, Regional and Central Libraries Closed - Effective Close of Business October 2, 2009 I can only hope that this is something of a scare-tactic move on the part of the library and some sort of functionality ( Read more... )

ForbiddenPlanet.co.uk has just posted the Torchwood action figures coming out (they don't even have a picture for the Cpt. Jack figure yet) - As previously noted by friends of mine, there is no Ianto, Tosh, or Owen - In spite of the fact that we get the Cyberwoman and a Weevil (and will have already gotten *two* other Jack's by then.)

While I was gone, my greatest journal (which I never use) got spammed up the wazoo... And I'm still getting messages - I'm up to about 50. Has anyone figured out a way to MAKE THIS STOP? I don't want to lock the post because it's the "do you want me to friend you?" post.

Ok, you know what? Evil wins. Have I been living in a FUCKING BUBBLE? How can I be so surprised at any of this? I'm horrified - mostly at myself for not being prepared for it (which is the worst part.)

I feel massively butch. 13 hours of Airwolf later I only want more hot helicopter action, not less. Sexy, sexy beast. :::meow::: There was a time I wanted to fly them... I was going to be the hottest stunt flyer on the circuit. Did I mention I still have never learned how to drive a car? Whatevah ( Read more... )

This 150 cap on LJ interests is putting me in a bad place... I'm starting to feel the pinch and each interest gets more and more scrutinized. I'm becoming stingy and hoarding. I'm becoming angry and judgmental (why can't we ALL agree on one way to say macintosh computers?) I can't take this kind of pressure! Why can I only be 150 things??? I ( Read more... )
